As long as dennard doesn't run 4.60.. I prefer him

Naysayers will discredit Dennard's physical play and place the praise on Dantonio and Nard's schemes.

2010 NT Mock: 4 years later. http://niketalk.com/t/240115/the-20...completed-we-need-gms-for-the-last-mock/0_20#

Don't feel horrible about my drafting for the bengals:

earl thomas, jermaine gresham, jahvid best, riley cooper, shay hodge and jevan snead

I think he can be a better Sheldon brown.. Not sure he has the speed to compare well with revis.. Maybe more Leon hall, who is still can't believe ran under 4.4 that year

I believe I drafted Haden, Houston, and Emmanuel Sanders for the Titans.

Gilbert has better ball skills and his return abilities will put him above Dennard

If you're taking a guy top 20, I'm not a fan of having him out there on returns.. In certain situations then yea.. As a rookie sure

But when you're hoping that guy develops into your team's top corner, I'd rather him not be out there








That's why I hope DAT drops to the 3rd-4th round area and the eagles can just use him as weapon.. And desean doesn't even have to think about being out there for punt returns

 

[herbshuttles15]

Well that used to be like an unwritten rule you only draft a corner top 10 if he can help in the return game

But Gilbert's ball skills are elite imo

 

[herbshuttles15]

Ehh that's fine for the first season or 2, but outside of huge situations your not gonna put your top 10 CB and potential franchise CB back there returning kicks.

Of course he doesn't have to return every kick but if you have a guy that is special at returning kicks use him

As good as Patrick Patterson has been on returns, I'm only putting him back there if I need a home run..



We struggled with returns last season, so desean and boykins had to cover those duties wayyyy more than I would have liked

The Detroit LIons have 2 outta the firsrt 5, Calvin Johnson, Reggie Bush and still didn't make the playoffs.

I hate Jim Schwartz

I have no problem with using a cb in need situations can't expect someone to play three downs and return a kick after. My main point was I felt Gilbert would be the first cb because of his balls skills and the added dimension in the return game. I think his coverage skills are on par if not better than Dennard

Gilbert's coverage skills are better than Dennard's.

Gilbert's coverage skills are better than Dennard's.

Not to mention he was tested weekly

 

[IATT]

Damn, I didnt realize dennard had as many injuries as he did.. Knee surgery in 2010.. Concussion and ankle in 2011.. And shoulder 2012

 

[SneakerProSr.]

Gilbert ain't missed a game since high school.

Gilbert has dealt with back (Summer) and shoulder (in season) injuries himself.

Next group for me is Bucannon, Ward, Bailey, Exum.

How come nobody talks about Verrett
Roby gets a lot of love but i don't see it
Gaines is a favorite
Desir is rising
Don't hear much about Fuller, Roberson or Hampton

 

[champcruthik]

Jon Dowling and Pierre Warren other names to watch.

 

[herbshuttles15]

HaHa, Buchanan, Pryor


Huff

Roby gets a lot of love but i don't see it

He got love going into the season, top 10 love.. But not anymore.. Hell I don't if think I see many mocks with him going in the 1st

How come nobody talks about Verrett

He's the consensus 3rd cb.. And 5th DB.. He'll go in the 1st, 20-30

Verrett put clamps on Ward, Beckham, Goodley.

Fluid hips, good footwork, solid reaction time. Third corner on my board after Gilbert and Dennard. Could take him over Dennard if you really fall in love minus the size.
